Today is test day

Jadon is still on ECMO and is still having issues. They plan on doing an echo (heart ultrasound) to try and determine why his left ventricle is underperforming. The results of this test will determine the pathway guard but we are looking at a longer ICU stay than we were originally anticipating.
They will be clamping the ECMO during the test so we will also see how Jadon tolerates bring off the ECMO (hopefully long enough for the echo to be completed)
